I just installed FreeBSD 2.2.6 on a Digital Venturis GL 6200. For the most part, everything is working. X is running nicely. ppp is up and running. Etc. But, somehow in the process of getting those last two things working, other bizarreness has surfaced: 1) I can no longer su. I could before. I added myself to 'wheel'. Now, under X, when I try, it hangs. When at the console, su core dumps. 2) When making gtk and gimp, the make kept on dying because of internal compiler errors (gcc 2.7.2). Upon retyping 'make', it would proceed on happily until the next time it died (seemingly) randomly. Eventually, gtk and gimp were successfully built. 3) Netscape dies every time I run it. It complains about the missing NLS config files. I have searched the archives and read all the reports about people's shell scripts that export XNLSPATH, I've snagged the uudecoded nls directories and installed them, repointed XNLSPATH, etc. Nothing seems to work. I run it. It dies. This is the case w/ both the port distributed w/ the CD (from Mr. Lehey's book), and the 4.5 beta from Netscape itself. Any ideas on any of this? Thanks in advance for any potential assistance.
